Yashika Garg, Symbiosis Law School, Pune

ABSTRACT

Cyber warfare is a relatively new form of conflict that involves the use of digital technologies to disrupt, damage, or destroy computer systems and networks. As with any form of warfare, cyber warfare raises important legal questions related to the use of force, self-defense, and international humanitarian law.

Cyber warfare has emerged as a new form of warfare in the modern world, presenting complex legal challenges in terms of the application of international law. The aim of this research article is to examine the relationship between cyber warfare and international law, analyzing the legal frameworks that apply to this form of conflict. The article argues that the current legal frameworks are insufficient to effectively deal with the challenges of cyber warfare, and proposes recommendations for legal reforms to ensure a more effective response to cyber threats. This research article explores the relationship between cyber warfare and international law, with a focus on the legal frameworks that apply to this form of conflict.
